“Two heavy twin-motors going south, fast. That’s from Kittywake.”
“Okay, stand by!” came back in a man’s voice.

“That’s from Brink’s Point,” she said this time.

Before Marie got in her second report, there came a buzz and the man’s voice from below reported:
“Those are Army planes of the Ferry Command. A little off their course, but they’ll take care of that. As you were.”
They all settled back to await the night’s next little adventure.
At 3:16 a small plane was reported off Crow Point. It turned out to be a Navy patrol plane that had lost its way in an early morning mist.
